Peikko: products and EPD coverage snapshot
Specifiers know Peikko for clever concrete connections and the slim-floor magic of DELTABEAM. Here is a quick, commercial read on what they sell and how well those lines are backed by environmental product declarations so sales teams can win more specs without extra wrangling.
What Peikko makes
Peikko is a structural specialist. Their portfolio spans composite beams for slim floors, concrete connection hardware for precast and cast-in-place, balcony connectors that cut thermal bridges, lifting systems, selected steel frames, and components for wind turbine foundations. It is not a generalist tool catalog. It is a focused range built for frames and floors.
Across those families, the SKU count runs into the hundreds. Think variations by load, geometry, corrosion class, coating, and plant. That breadth means multiple categories reach specifiers in offices, healthcare, industrial and logistics projects.
Where EPDs exist today
Peikko’s DELTABEAM line is well covered with plant-specific EPDs across Europe, North America and Asia, with validity windows running from 2027 to 2030 (EPD Hub, 2024) (EPD Hub, 2024). Their EBEA balcony connector also carries current EPDs, and there are portfolio-level declarations for connecting parts, plus entries for a KK lifting system, painted steel frames, and the concrete used within composite elements. In practical terms, that is a double‑digit set of current EPDs spanning several facilities.
If a project team needs something published with a European operator, many Peikko declarations you’ll see in the wild reference EN 15804 and sit comfortably alongside competitors in submittals. That keeps bid cycles smoother when EPDs are required.
Likely gaps and how much they matter
We did not see clearly labeled, standalone EPDs for flagship anchor bolt lines or column shoes by model name. Some of this may be implicitly covered by the broad “connecting parts” declarations, which is helpful but less surgical for product-by-product comparisons. Punching shear reinforcement may be similar. If your sales motion hinges on one hero SKU, a product-specific EPD by plant and diameter range helps you avoid generic penalties in carbon accounting.
Competitors you’ll meet on the same drawings
For balcony thermal breaks, Schöck Isokorb and Max Frank Egcobox both publish EPDs with IBU, with validity commonly landing in the 2026 to 2028 window (IBU, 2024) (IBU, 2024). Leviat’s Halfen HIT family also appears with IBU coverage in similar timeframes (IBU, 2024). This means the thermal connector category is EPD‑rich, so parity is essential.
On anchors and fastening ecosystems, Hilti routinely lists dozens of current EPDs across sealants, screws and protection products that sit adjacent to structural connectors, often under EPD Hub with 2028 to 2030 end dates (EPD Hub, 2025) (EPD Hub, 2025). In French specs, INIES entries show up for several connector and insulation players, which influences public works and housing projects that pull from that database (INIES, 2024) (INIES, 2024).
Why coverage shapes wins
When a product lacks a product-specific EPD, many owners and design teams apply conservative generic factors in their accounting. That can nudge a competing item with an EPD ahead in shortlist scoring, even if performance and price are neck and neck. With LEED v5 tightening expectations for transparent materials, documented products keep their seat at the table rather than getting quietly swapped late in design.
Smart next steps for Peikko’s catalog
Group SKUs by structural role and steel grade, then publish per plant so the data reflects real energy mixes. Align PCR choice with the norms used by Schöck, Leviat and Max Frank to keep comparisons apples to apples. Start with the highest-revenue connectors that repeatedly appear in schedules, then follow with reinforcement lines. Make data collection simple for factory teams so the program does not stall. Dont let a single market delay the whole portfolio.
Bottom line for specability
Peikko already checks important EPD boxes for DELTABEAM, balcony connectors and key connection families. Expanding to model‑specific EPDs for anchor bolts, column shoes and any uncovered reinforcement would close the last credibility gaps and reduce substitution risk at precisely the moment when buyers are screening for enviromental proof.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Peikko product families have current EPDs and until when are they valid?
Multiple plants for DELTABEAM, EBEA balcony connectors, connecting parts, steel frames, a lifting system and the concrete used within composite elements are covered. Validity commonly ranges from 2027 to 2030 under EPD Hub. (EPD Hub, 2024)
Are Peikko’s EPDs aligned with EN 15804 for European projects?
Yes. Their declarations reference EN 15804, which aligns well with European submittal norms and peer products in the category.
Which competitors in balcony thermal breaks have EPDs?
Schöck Isokorb, Max Frank Egcobox and Leviat’s Halfen HIT each have EPDs published with IBU in recent years. (IBU, 2024)
Where are the notable coverage gaps for Peikko?
We did not see standalone, model‑named EPDs for anchor bolts, column shoes or punching shear reinforcement. Some may be covered by broader connecting‑parts EPDs, but product‑specific entries would support clearer comparisons.
Why push for product‑specific EPDs if portfolio EPDs exist?
Product‑specific EPDs avoid conservative generic factors used by design teams and help maintain parity in specs, especially as LEED v5 raises expectations for transparency.
